Thanks  Mike ,
 We can  add  this  one to the   list  of   'ifs'  The  times  are 
temptingly  close ,  but   genuine  false  detection  occurred some time 
later ...With the  number of  near misses'   Down Under  is becoming  the 
'MARS'  of the   beacon  world !
 Just a  note -  The  '??'   denotes   either  a  rejected   detection , 
timing  parameters  not  met  ... OR    A single  detection  presented  to 
the  server , with  no  secondary conformation.
 I think  this  happened  last  night  with the  first  detection  of  VO1NA 
by  PA3ABK ,  showing  a  dynamic  detection  ''??''  ,  then  the  next 
cycle  , cross  correlated  by  F6CNI  , validated
 This  is where  using  the  Opera  software , provides  advantages ,  as the 
TX beacon is  stored  in the  psk-map  and the  call  sign  is  added  to 
the  dynamic  list  directly . allowing  a  manual  inspection  post  result 
..

Subject: Re: LF: MF 630m: False Decode or Real?
 
Very likely a false decode. The clue is the two question marks. In my
experience, almost every decode with question marks is false, and
there are very few cases where these particular decodes are useful. I
believe it would be helpful not to display these at all.
Having said that, the deep search facility in Opera is very useful
and has revealed some very interesting propagation information. But
only using the decodes without the question marks which, again in my
experience, are almost always genuine.
